Ranma 1/2 Toraware no Hanayome is a digital comic by Masaya and is the second in the trilogy for the PC Engine system. However, unlike other games of the series, Ranma 1/2 Toraware no Hanayome is a digital comic which offers an exclusive and comical episode with all the familiar Ranma cast and landmarks at its heart. The game starts when Ranma and Akane find out about a contest organized by their school's headmaster. The winning price is a trip for two to Hawaii and a large gathering of school students soon fight to decide of the lucky winner. The core of the game is in Japanese but the interface is built around simple icons (such as talk, walk and so forth) - interestingly, they are only enabled when needed and under certain conditions which may greatly help non Japanese players. The game holds few surprises such as one-on-one fights using simple menu driven actions. The language barrier may require the player to continuously scratch his head but thanks to the simple menus and overall game design, it is far from a show stopper.

Ranma 1/2 Toraware no Hanayome is most certainly the best Ranma game available for the PC Engine system. If you like Digital Comics and if you are a fan of the popular Ranma 1/2 series then this game is definitely for you. Unlike traditional Japanese Digital Comics, Ranma 1/2 Toraware no Hanayome can be played without a deep knowledge of the Japanese language - you'll however miss out on most of the story but you'll still be able to enjoy many of the visual jokes. The game's interface also greatly helps non Japanese players and makes the whole experience very accessible - if a control icon appears in the menu, chances are that it needs to be used in the current situation... All the cutscenes and graphics are also outstanding. I only wish the game designers used CD tracks throughout the game as all the in-game music uses the PC Engine's chip - but this was probably the price to pay to have real spoken speech during the game. All in all, Ranma 1/2 Toraware no Hanayome is an excellent Digital Comic, if not the best for the system.
